As of today, she’s completed it. Six Days, Two Hours, and Twenty Minutes.

Unbelievable. I am incredibly impressed.

If you look at her report from Nikolai, you can tell she didn’t just breeze through it. She’s pushed her bike through knee deep snow for 45 miles. She’s pulled her right hip flexer muscle (I’m not even sure what that is). She’s bivied at 20 below 0 (F). She’s been so tired she’s fallen asleep at the bike.

You know what I can hardly wait for? I can hardly wait for her to tell her complete story. That is going to be an epic ride story worth reading.

Be sure to swing by Jill’s website and leave a comment, congratulating her on her incredible success, OK?

Yes well done, 350 miles in those conditions. It sure puts my sunday ride into perspective! (However, not today as it’s Mother’s day in the U.K – so the children and I are preparing to cook a meal for the wife).

I’ve been watching as well. Impressive! And to think I was whining about the constant headwind I rode in yesterday…I’m thinking Jill must have a HTFU TATOO! Probably did it herself with a sharp stick and some berries she found along the trail one summer.

WOW…that is incredible….what a feat!!! Did she use the ride to raise any funds or awareness for a cause? I’ll have to check out her site to see……
Today there is a huge festival here in South Florida (+77 degrees F). I will be wearing my FC garb and raising money for the LAF. Please, fellow readers, help us make a difference: http://bayarea08.livestrong.org/mike
Thank you

I hit the ol’ refresh button on the web browser a lot Saturday, worried about Jill. I was worried for her family and that of her boyfriend, Geoff. There are people still out there plugging through I haven’t read about. Fascinating that I feel a connection only through reading Jill and Geoff’s respective blogs.

All the racers for 350 miles are tougher than I am. I shudder to think how hard it is for the full 1,100 miles.

Way to go Jill!!
Sure wish the updates were more frequent. It’s was a tiring week trying to stay up to date on her progress when there were no updates.
Yeah, like that was tiring……maybe I should go bike in the snow and talk about tiring.

Wow, anything I do short of crossing the Pacific on my bike pales in comparison. It’s absolutely incredible what people can do when they put their minds to it.
Most days, I can barely put my mind to making breakfast!

holy freaking crap!
i’m taking this week off cause the back of my leg hurts. i’m so such a p..poopy head weenie boy.
also, what exactly does one do when one bivies at 20 below? can you do or say that on a family blog?

obviously Jill’s da man. (or at the very least more of one than i am )
